Midwest.social is “a Lemmy server for, but not limited to, leftists in the Midwest USA” according to the person running it. Head on over and join the conversation!

Yeah, I created the subs at lemmy.ml first, and really I think it’s going to be a thing that time will tell. I want to promote midwest.social for the target audience (midwesterners) so that we get more of them in that server specifically, but if not then I’d like to have that community presence established on lemmy.ml as well. Something tells me there will be a number of iterations before the Lemmy-verse settles on which servers become predominate.
I took the same approach with my user accounts. Sure I feel like I belong in midwest.social, but if that dwindles and ultimately doesn’t stand the test of time I want my account to be present on what is currently the largest server. I also created my account at lemmy.one and subscribed to many of the same communities on other servers, mainly for those instances where lemmy.ml is down due to load, which I highly suspect we’re due to see more of June 12th and the reddit API changes approach.
